Abstract
Based on a plurality of valid data sets from a data set selection portion, an internal-resistance-during-charging calculation portion calculates the value Rc of internal resistance during charging from the slope of a voltage-current linear approximation during charging, and an internal-resistance-during-charging-and-discharging calculation portion calculates the value Rcd of internal resistance during charging and discharging from the slope of a voltage-current linear approximation during charging and discharging. A judgment portion compares the absolute value ΔR of the difference between Rcd and Rc that has been calculated by a difference computation portion with a first predetermined value ΔRT, and when ΔR≦ΔRTis satisfied, the judgment portion outputs Rcd or Rc, whichever is smaller, as the value of internal resistance of a secondary battery.
